Emigration is an old phenomenon, which experienced a peak of poetization during the First World War and was highly romanticized thanks to Vasily Kandinsky, Ivan Bunin and Fyodor Chaliapin. One always leaves one's homeland for a reason - it is a huge test of character, a certain break and shift of fate, a challenge that a person throws both to himself and to the world. Through the emigration passed the largest artists of the beginning of the last century and modernity, not passed her and Dina Rubina, whose work has become an indisputable chamber tone of Russian literature of the end of the century. In this book, the author has specially collected stories, in one way or another related to the theme of acquiring a new land and abandonment of the old land. There is humor, sadness, irony, and compassion in them, embracing all those to whom it has just happened or to whom it is to come. The experience of emigration cannot be universal, and yet it - handed down from a great artist - has a way of helping and supporting. That is what this book was invented for.
